| My Name |
|---|
| Strong men tremble when they hear it! |
| They’ve got cause enough to fear it! |
| It’s much blacker than they smear it! |
| Nobody mentions… |
| My name! |
| Rich men hold their five-pound notes out -- |
| Saves me emptying their couats out. |
| They know I could tear their throats out |
| Just to live up to… |
| My name! |
| Wiv me Jemmy in me hand, |
| Lemme see the man who dares |
| Stop me. |
| Taking what I may |
| He can start to say his prayers! |
| Biceps like an iron girder, |
| Fit for doing of a murder, |
| If I just so much as heard a Bloke even whisper… |
| (spoken) My name! |
| Bill Sikes… |
| (sung) Some Toff, slumming wiv his valet, |
| Bumped into me in the alley |
| Now is eyes’ll never tally |
| He’d never heard of … |
| My name! |
| One bloke |
| Used to boast the claim |
| He could take my name in vain… |
| Poor bloke… |
| Shame 'e was so green |
| Never was 'e seen again! |
| Once bad -- What’s the good of turning? |
| In hell, I’ll be there-a-burning |
| Meanwhile, thing of what I’m earning |
| All on account of… |
| My name! |
| What is it? |
| What is it? |
| What is it? |
| NANCY |
| (spoken) Bill Sikes. |
